	Not so.  There is no way for the purchaser to know that
the package he(or she) just payed $500 for contains a brick or hard
drive.  The COD only insures that the purchaser will pay, there is no 
guarantee that the seller is honest.  My advise is to deal only with
users of universities and businesses.
